The easy red flag here is YAML. It’s a hideous, overly-complex format for anything so of course a scam would choose it.
And what would your ideal, legible, general-purpose data markup language be? XML?
RON (Rusty Object Notation). Its like JSON but better.
Do you remember CSON? CoffeeScript Object Notation was a cute way to make JSON readable before CoffeeScript kinda died.
CSON looks like a slightly worse version of YAML to me
Parsing rules are way simpler… it was also a different time.
as a rustacian i cannot thank you enough for notifying me of this
